Billboard reports that music industry leaders are considering a single worldwide weekly release day for new albums. The International Federation of the Phonograph Industry (IFPI) is proposing a uniform release day of Friday in a move that departs from the existing disjointed jurisdictional variation resulting from each territory’s ability to select its own release day.

The unification initiative is supported by the Recording Industry Association of America and executives in the major music territories and at the major labels.
